Freedom of Information (FOI)

You need official documents — budgets, contracts, payment schedules — from a public institution.

Understand your rights / options

  • The Freedom of Information Act (federal) and applicable state laws create a right to request information from public institutions.
  • Institutions should respond within statutory timelines; refusals can be challenged.

Evidence to preserve

  • Your written request
  • Acknowledgement receipts
  • Any partial responses

Who may be responsible

Where to report

  • /report?kind=foi&office=office-lagos-works-comm

Organizations that may help

Next steps

  2. Submit a clear FOI request (demo path on Action)
  3. Attach any response as evidence so the record remembers
